In our daily diet topics, the relationship between vegetables and health has always been a point of concern to everyone, especially when it comes to such an important body organ as the liver, and there are all kinds of theories. Take eggplant as an example, you see, there are different opinions on whether eggplant is good for the liver, but it is interesting.
In fact, if you study carefully, you will find that eggplant is really a treasure trove of nutrients, containing vitamins, proteins, minerals, etc., which are quite rich. Let's just talk about this 720 grams of purple eggplant, the content of vitamin P can be as high as 0 mg or more, which is quite friendly to the liver, not only will not damage the liver, but it is very suitable for patients with liver disease to eat.
But why are there still those who say that eggplant is not good for people with liver disease? This has to talk about one of the characteristics of eggplant, eggplant, which itself is a particularly oil-absorbing vegetable. Think about the braised eggplant, when you make this dish, the oil is poured in, and the eggplant is like a "little sponge", absorbing a lot of fat into it. After eating in the stomach, these fats enter the body, and the fat metabolism burden of the liver can increase all of a sudden, which is not a disadvantage for patients who have liver diseases and need to recover well, so there will be those who are not conducive to liver disease patients to eat eggplant.
These vegetables aren't that liver-friendly
However, in addition to eggplant, there are also some vegetables, which also have different degrees of impact on the liver, and some are even not very good, so we have to understand it well.
Let's talk about chili peppers first, this chili pepper is a dry food. We all know that a common manifestation of liver disease is the vigorous liver fire, this chili pepper, it will also promote dampness and heat to a certain extent, good guys, this help, the dampness and heat inside the liver will become more serious, and the liver function will be easy to have abnormalities. Moreover, if you often eat spicy foods such as chili peppers, it is also a big stimulation to the gastrointestinal system, the stomach and intestines are stimulated like this, and the digestive ability will decline, and the liver will have to work harder, and you have to synthesize more bile to promote digestion.
Let's take a look at celery, celery, a vegetable, usually everyone thinks it is quite healthy, after all, it is rich in dietary fiber and a variety of trace elements, and it has a good effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and blood pressure lowering. But did you know that it's not good for liver health? If you eat celery often, the digestive burden will increase, you must know that the liver is the largest digestive gland in our body, this digestive burden is heavy, the recovery of the liver will be affected, and more seriously, it is easy to induce bleeding in the digestive channel, which is not a joke.
And the leeks, the carotene, protein, vitamins and other nutrients in the leeks are also quite rich, so it should be a good thing. But for people with liver disease, it's not so friendly. Why? Because patients with liver disease often have weak digestive function, and the crude fiber content in leeks is not only rich, but also quite tough, it is not easy for the stomach to digest it, if you often eat leeks, the liver disease will easily worsen, and the burden on the liver will also increase.
What will happen if the liver is not good? You'll have to keep an eye on it
If the liver is not very good, what "signals" will the body give? We also have to know in our hearts, so that we can find problems early and solve them as soon as possible. For example, some patients have enough time to sleep at night and sleep quite steadily, but during the day, their mental state is very bad, and they always feel sleepy, as if they didn't wake up. This is actually caused by the vigorous liver fire. If the function of the liver declines, the body will have this situation, and the whole person has no energy, and he can't do anything.
And then there is the color of urine, under normal circumstances, the color of our urine is pale yellow. But if there is a lesion in the liver, the metabolism of bilirubin will become abnormal, and bilirubin cannot be excreted in time, so it can only be excreted with the urine, and the color of the urine will become abnormally sallow, just like strong tea. Moreover, even if you keep replenishing water, the color of the urine still can't change, it's still so yellow, which is a very obvious signal, indicating that there may be something wrong with the liver.
There is also the eye, which is actually an organ that can reflect the health of the liver. If the liver blood is insufficient, the eyes will not be able to get the nourishment of the liver blood, at this time, the eyes are prone to all kinds of uncomfortable situations, such as dryness, and always crying when encountering the wind.
What foods can nourish the liver? Let's find out
Of course, there are foods that are not very friendly to the liver, so there are naturally good foods that can nourish the liver, so let's move on. For example, shepherd's cabbage, but the cruciferous plant, it has a peaceful temperament and a sweet taste. It contains vitamin B, vitamin C, carotene, niacin, and inorganic salts. Through animal experiments, it can be found that shepherd's cabbage can shorten the clotting time, has the effect of stopping bleeding, for those who suffer from chronic liver disease, and often have nosebleeds, gum bleeding and other symptoms, it is really suitable, eat some purses may be able to alleviate these symptoms.
There is also cabbage, which is what we usually call cabbage, cabbage, and cabbage, which is also peaceful and sweet. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin B2, vitamin B0, and nutrients such as carotene and vitamin E. If you eat it raw, it has a good effect on stomach and duodenal ulcers and pain, and it is also good for the liver.
Mushrooms are also very good, there are many types of mushrooms, and now most of them are artificially cultivated, such as vegetable mushrooms, mouth mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc., they all belong to the mushroom class. It has a calm temperament and a sweet taste, and contains polysaccharides, vitamins, proteins, fats, and inorganic salts. Experiments have proved that the polysaccharides in it have the effect of regulating immunity and anti-tumor, which is very suitable for patients with liver disease.
Seaweed is also very good, it has a cold temperament, the taste is salty, and it contains a lot of iodine, alginic acid, vitamins, protein and fat. It has the effect of dissolving phlegm and dispersing knots, and according to research, its extract can better inhibit platelet aggregation and lipid oxidation and anti-ulcer, which is also helpful to the health of the liver, and it is also a good helper for nourishing the liver.
The lily can't be left behind, it has a peaceful temperament, a sweet taste, and contains protein, fat, and colchicine. It has the effect of nourishing qi and replenishing the middle, benefiting the lungs and relieving cough, and can also soften and calm the nerves. The colchicine in this has the effect of anti-liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis, and if you eat some lilies often, it may also have the effect of preventing and treating liver cirrhosis, which is quite beneficial to the liver. Anyway, the relationship between diet and liver health is really complicated and important, and we should pay more attention to it when we usually eat, so that our liver can be healthy.
